The plot to admit Utah as d state is

The plot to admit Utah as a state is
one that should be thoroughly exposed
by every respectable paper in the
Union. It is plot that means endless
mischief and trouble should it succeed.
The Mormons want statehood in order
to become independent of Federal
courts. They want it that they may
practice polygamy without fear or
favor. They want.statehood that they
may fasten forever upon Utah the
union Of Church and State. Polygamy
is but one of series of iniquities that
would fasten themselves upon Utah if
she becomes state at this time. The
entire grain and fibre of Mormonism is
undemocratic and anti-American. The
cure for the ills that aff1ict Utah would
be found in making compulsory sys-
tenn of public schools there in building
manual and reform schools, and in TAX
ing. political power wholly out of the
Mormon Church. The theory of that
people is not vor populi Doc Del, but the
voice of the priesthood is the voice of
God.

The NATIONAL CONVENTION
The New York Herald is vigorously
booming that city as the place for
holding the next Democratic national
convention. In addition, it prints in
terviews with leading New York
Democrats in favor Of that city. Sec
retary Whitney is quoted as saying
that " it is not only New York's due,
but the nations right that the conven-
tion should be held in New York city.
Ex-Mayor Grace said " Holding tho
convention in New York could have
only good effect, as the tendency
would be to stir UP enthusiasm. The
States OF New Jersey and Connecticut
are so close to New York that they
would be affected by the spirit of the
convention, as they are always in
fluenced by the same line Of thought
that prevails in the city and state of
New York. They feel the reflex, so
to speak. New York sentiment pre-
vades their atmosphere

Rernar,xable Memories.


An article now going the rounds Of
the newspapers gives some instances
Of particularly agile memories. and
Life adds the following list:
Henry VIII Of England could repeat
the names Of his wives in their con-
secutiYe order, without missing one.
A school. teacher of London, whose
name was Dawson, possessed q remark
able memory. He could repeat the
first verse Of the Book of Job, and, on
a wager Of e2OO, he repeated, without
the aid of a book, the title Of Spenser's
Faery Queen,n poem Of nearly 400
stanzas of nine lines each.
Porson, the Greek scholar, could re-
peat the Beatitudes in the original
with his eyes closed and one hand tied
behind him.
A noted Scotch divine had such an
excellent memory that he used the
same grace at table in his ninetieth
year that he used seventy years be-
fore.
Lord Chesterfield always remembered
to say "Thank you ~ without the aid
of a microscope.
Coming down to modern times we
have instances almost as remarkable
The Prince of Wales never forgets
to snub Henry of Battenburg when he
has an opportunity.
DR.. McGlynn remembers the name
of the Pope without the slightest fa-
tigue.
General Sherman can recall the
stains Of /" Marching Through Georgia"
almost ,involuntarily.
James G.. Blaine can remember Do
mimic Burchards's name without allit-
erative assistance.
Grover Cleveland can remember who
is governor of New York without be-
ing told.
Governor Foraker, of Ohio, can rem
ember who is President OF the. United
States when the thermometer is up to
eighty degrees in the shade.

broadcast in December or January
not later. Plow the manure under as
soon as the ground will permit in the
spring. Harrow the ground well and
plant in drills three feet apart, pieces
of potatoes cut to two eyes, one foot
apart. Cover with plow when just
coming through the ground cross
harrow, killing all the weeds that have
started. Then cultivate often until
the vines are too large to work in. /
am entirely satisfied that manure ap-
piled broadcast in December or Janu-
airy is worth. at least four times as
much as that put on at the time Of

Bufralo Bin in classic Quarters


The report that Buffalo Bills Wild
West show is to occupy the Roman
Colosseum for a. time, offers food to
the reflective mind. The great arena
where once the gladiators fought,
whers savage lions crunched the flesh
Of martyrs, and where the Roman pop
ulace in ages past sent up their hoarse
and frantic cries of triumph at the
sight of carnage, will echo once more
with the shouts of a delighted multi
tude. But bucking ponies will take
the place of savage brutes cowboys
and Indians, fresh from the civilizing
atmosphere of London drawing-rooms
will fight their bloodless battles where
once the Roman acrobats carried on q
warfare to the death.
The last time that the Colosseum
was used for gladiatorial contest was
in the sixth century, A. D.-about nine
hundred years before America was
discovered by Columbus. There are
various theories advanced as to the de-
cadence Of the great amphitheatre af-
ter that date. Some authorities claim
that il was due to lack of advertising
on the part Of the management. 9th
ers lay it to a public demand for popu-
lar prices which was not granted.
But whatever was the real cause of
the inocuous desuetude which fell upon
the Colosseum until the great building
became nothing but gigantic monu-
ment of ancient glory surrounded by
g the boar austerity of rugged desola-
tion, . the fact remains that for CEN
turies it has stood silent and lonely,
serving no end save to inspire poets or
animate historians. But at length the
spell is broken and once again the anci-
snt cifcus may play for time the role
for which it was designed.
Red Shirt, Cut-meat, In-the-Eole,
Chew-grass, Cabbage-leaf, and others
will soon turn their steps toward the
Eternal City. Once more will the box
ofiee Of the Colosseum resume busi-
ness at the old stand, and the world
will watch with interest while phase
If American life soon to disappear, is
reproduced in the shrine of Roman
oarbarism. The World.

How postage stamns are Made.

How Postage stamps Are Made.
In printing steel plates are used, on
which 200 stamps are engraved. Two
men are kept at work covering them
with the eolored inks and passing them
to a man and girl. who are equally
busy at printing them with large, roll
ing hand presses. Three of these little
squads are employed all the time. AT.
ter the small sheets of paper
upon which the 200 stamps are en-
grayed have dried enough they
are sent into another room and
gummed. The gum used for this pur-
pose is peculiar composition, made Of
powder of potatoes and other vegeta-
bles, mixed with water, which is bet
ter than any other material, for in
stance, gum arabic, which cracks the
paper badly. The paper is also of a
peculiar texture, somewhat similar to
that of hank notes. After having
again been dried, this time on little
racks which are famed by steam pow
er for about an hour, they are put in
between sheets Of paste board and press
ed in hydraulic presses, capable of ap-
plying weight Of 1900 tons. The
next thing is to cut the sheets in hall
yes each sheet, Of course, when cut
contains 100 stamps. They are passed
to two other squads, who, in as many
operations, perforate the sheets be-
tween the stamps. Next they are
pressed once more, and then packed
and labeled and stored away in another
room, preparatory to being put in mail
bags for dispatching to fill orders. If
a single stamp is torn or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of 100 is
burned. Five hundred thousand are
burned every week from this cause.
For the past twenty years not single
sheet has been lost, such care has been
taken In counting them. During the
progress of the manufacturing the
sheets are counted eleven times.-Chi-
cago Journal.

MoNoPoLlEs CREATED BY THE
TARIFF.

T.
The people of the United States are
daily told by the advocates of protec-
Hon that the tariff system does not
iced any reform, and that any change
ID it should be in the direction OF high
81 rates of duty. This daring assertion
Is made In the presence Of the fact
tlsak under the operation Of the tariff
legitimate competition is stified and
the trade in many leading necessaries
of living controlled absolutely BY mon
opo1ies. Here are some of the monop-
olistic creations and outgrowths Of
our iniquitous tariff system which have
oppressed and plundered the people OF
this country through the power which
the tariff has conferred upon them:
The Bessemer steel monopoly.
The Crucible Steel Trust.
The Nail Association.
The coal combination.
The coke combination.
The Lumber Trust.
The Sugar Trust.
The salt combination.
The Flour-Bag Trust.
The Maine sardine fraud.
The wallpaper Trust.
The window-glass combination.
The barb-wire ring.
The Lead Trust.
The School-slate Tfusta
The sheet-zinc monopoly.
The Russia sheet-iron monopoly.
This does not by any means exhaust
the number Of tariff-fed monopolies,
but the above viii enable consumers in |
the United States to form very clear
conception Of the extent to which they
have beer plundered by a system Of
legal fraud and oppression. Let the
American workingmen carefully scan
this partial list and say how much pro-
lection there is in it for them. While
the prices OF many Of the necassaries
and comforts of their families have
been cruelty enhanced by this system,
they must sell their daily labor for what
1t win bring in the open market. Mil
lions Of people are pluudered in order
to minister TO the greed of few mon
opolies. Philadelphia Record.
